I have been MIA - AGAIN! I got a new job (which I hate and have to get out of but it took me 11 months to find this one) and I don't get home until 7:00 p.m. Not much time for blogging and creating. Good thoughts from all to find another job SOON are appreciated. Thanks ladies! Hope to be with you again soon!

This card was made for MY special mom. I always love to do something special for her. It literally took me 15, count them, 15 hours to make this card. Lots of cutting, trimming, pasting, glittering (I know it isn't a word, but humor me for now). I hope she enjoys it as much as I loved making it for her. Hell, I think I may go get her a frame and frame it!

This is my first made and posted card for a while. This is a card I made for my friend who lost her dad last week.
I have several cards that have been ordered for Mother's Day so I will be posting them as soon as they are finished.

Ladies:
To my TUIC blog friends, I am sooooooo sorry that I have not posted any "happy" posts on your blogs. And to my "new" blog group friends (I Dream Of Paper), I haven't posted on any of yours as of yet, and for this I apologize to all of you.
I have been sick for a couple of weeks and feeling like hell and just haven't really been on my computer much. I am feeling better now and I will be scouring all of your blogs in the next day or two and see what everyone has been up to!
Hope all is well with everyone!!!!

I just realized that my blog background is gone. I looked closely and it said the "person removed it." I didn't remove anything. How odd! Took me forever to select the one I wanted. I guess the "owner" removed them. Who knows. Back to the drawing board.

This is card I just made with my new Verve stamp set. I ordered some the other day. Very fast shipping! I was excited to ink them up since I've never had them before. Must say, I love them! I'm obsessed with this flower!

Thank you everybody for the good wishes and thinking of me! I am feeling good and I'm really cute! I am taking medicine, which my mom thinks she is really smart by hiding in cheese, I know it's there but I just try to appease her because she is taking care of me! Thanks again for thinking of me!

I have found this "blog" and have found some stamps that I really like and wanted to order on this site. However, it appears to just be a blog to me. I added stamps to my cart, but I have to have a login name and password but there is nowhere that I see to "register." I have e-mailed them twice and haven't heard anything from anyone.
Have any of you ladies heard of these stamps? I wanted a couple of sets but now am a little nervous to order them if I am ever able to order them.

Thank you ladies for your thoughts and prayers for my little Maggie. She did really great today the vet said. They lasered a couple of small growths from her eyelid, cleaned her teeth and took a tumor off her belly. The vet thinks the tumor is just a growth and will not be cancerous. Keep your fingers crossed.
Thank you again for the good wishes. Some people don't get "animal lovers" but thank God there are more that do than don't! I appreciate all of you for thinking of us.

I made a label from one of my Spellbinder labels on another card and decided to use the "rest" of the paper in a different way because I like the paper and didn't want to waste it. I hate wasting pretty paper!
Supplies: SU cardstock, SU ink, miscellaneous pattern paper, Spellbinders label, Prismacolor markers, lace ribbon, miscellaneous flower

I made these cards (set of four) with some stamped images that I found that someone had sent me a few years ago. I LOVE the stamp and have no clue what it is. I actually ended up selling this set of four cards on Etsy today! Yay, me!!!
I have a set of blue ones for sale on my Etsy site as well. Take a look! www.etsy.com/shop/CardsByPia

Normally I make more elaborate cards but I decided to get into my A Muse stash and see what I could come up with. I love clean and simple but for some reason I just don't think my clean and simple cards are that great. I do like this card, even though I don't like coffee. Enjoy!
Supplies: A Muse notecard, A Muse stamps, SU ink, Prismacolor markers and ribbon

I made this card and sold it on my Etsy Shop: www.etsy.com/shop/CardsByPia
This watercolor card was made with a SU stamp set (the name escapes me right). I think it is very clean and simple.
Supplies: SU set, SU Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Martha Stewart punch

This is a birthday card that I made for my friend's mother, however, I'm not sure I like it that much. I may have to make a different one.
Supplies: Bazzill, Basic Grey and Stampin' Up cardstock, Stampin' Up stamp, Stampin' Up ink, Tim Holtz distressed ink, sandpaper, ribbon, purple crystal and pearl beads.

This is my first (distressed) tri-fold card. I thought it was going to be bigger. When it is open, it is 3x11 and closed it is 3x3. I think I need to find a bigger pattern.
Supplies: SU cardstock, micsellaneous pattern paper, embossed tags (found at Michaels), Prima flowers, Tim Holtz distressed Stickles.
Have a great day!

This is a white-on-white card that I knocked out last night. It like the simplicity of it.
Supplies: SU cardstock: white, Sizzix die, SU stamp (Smile - can't remember the name of the set), Swiss Dot embossing folder, Cuttlebug, Ink: SU - Not So Navy
Enjoy!

I love this card, even if I do say so myself.
I distressed the edges of the pattern paper with sandpaper and scissors. No need to pay alot of money for distressing tools when you have scissors and you can buy a pack of sandpaper for $1.00
Supplies: SU Rose In Winter set, SU cardstock: White, Ink: Mellow Moss, Passion Pink, Distress Paint: Tim Holz (white) Distress Ink: Tim Holz (Antiqiue Linen), Miscellaneous pattern paper, two pink crystals and a green ribbon.

So, I have been working on my new Etsy Shop for several weeks now. I finally opened it. You can got to Etsy and it is "CardsByPia." Please take a look around and let me know what you think and order, order, order! I will also do custom orders for you!
Thanks,
Tam
